		<description><![CDATA[Is there any way to assure real estate success, to purchase real estate at the bottom of the market, sell at the top and face no risk in between? It would be great to say that the answer is yes, and greater still to have such knowledge, but the central reality of investing is that such certainty does not exist. There's always risk, including the risk of not doing anything and missing an opportunity.

But if it's true no form of investing is risk-free, then it's equally true that there are steps which can be taken to reduce marketplace perils, especially when considering foreclosures, short sales and distressed properties in general.

So what are the keys to foreclosure investing success?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Q.  Why do I have to submit a Short Sale package?

A. In short, because lenders require it.  Lenders need to have a compelling reason to work with the seller.  By providing tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs and other forms of household income and expenses along with a detailed hardship letter, the lender has a true an accurate picture of the sellers’ circumstance.  IFR works with sellers to complete a thorough and effective Short Sale package.
Q.  Will a Short Sale hurt my credit?

A. The term “Short Sale” is not reflected on the sellers credit report.  Many times a Short Sale is reported as “Paid-Settled” which will most likely lower the sellers credit rating.  The alternative, however, would be foreclosure which can significantly damage a sellers credit rating for years to come. ]]></description>
